Steering Wheel ?

Is there a smaller steering wheel for the C5. Something closer to the size of the C6 steering wheel.

Do a search and you'll find a number of posts about aftermarket steering wheels.

Did not do a write up. Should have, but didnt have a camera at the time. It took a very slight modification of the column shroud, but that was done with a dremel fitted with a fine sandpaper wheel. Could have been done by hand, but the dremel saved a lot of time! Used the standard GM momo adapter. I do not have the telescoping wheel, but momo makes an adapter for that also and the modification to the shroud is the same.

Its amazing the difference how the wheel fits in your hand. Like it was made for a Corvette!

There probably are some smaller steering wheels out there, but the problem may be finding one that will be compatible with the air bag if that is a concern to you.
